Welcome back!  I hope everyone's week is off to a great start! Tomorrow, we'll have our weekly podcast, so there won't be a new Roundup.  You can tune in to my Google+ channel at 7:30 central to watch the cast live, or catch it on Thursday!  We begin today at Teach Thought with a new post on"How Automated Tutoring Can Transition to the Common Core."  The article discusses how tech and self-directed learning can help prepare students for CCSS assessments.

Next up, the Ed Tech Review has a new article entitled, "Social Media and Language Learning: Why Classrooms Move Online."  The post focuses on how teachers can use online tools to begin moving components of their classroom to the web.  They cover Facebook and language learning communities and discuss the general benefits of offering material online.

Educational Technology has four new posts to check out:
  • 100 Ed Apps for Elem Students (dedicated to Ammery)
  • Chart on SAMR Model Applied to iPad Apps
  • VIdeos to Teach Students about Creative Commons
  • 5 Note Taking Tips for Students and Teachers

Neil Goldman at Emerging Ed Tech has a new post on Rewordify entitled "This Free Website Provides an Alternative Pathway to Vocabulary Development."  You may have caught iLearn Technology's recent post on Rewordify, but if not, it's an excellent app and Goldman provides a great review of the service which helps students with complex English.

If you're a fan of Class Tech Tips, the excellent edtech site run by Monica Burns, you'll be happy to hear she is now offering a class on Udemy.  The course, "Teach with Your iPad: Instruct, Assess & Manage Your Class with a Single iPad" is designed for teachers with an iPad that are looking to better utilize it within their classroom.

EdReach has four new podcasts to check out:
  • TheatreCast: Culture is What Unites Us
  • EdAdmin Minute: Creating A More Productive Workspace
  • EduVue: Expanding Networks for Educators of Today
  • ToolZeit: Bedtime Math Updated

Educational Resources, the makers of the "ready out-of-the-box tablet for education, LearnPad" have just announced a new student bundle.  For $340 you get their tablet, a Bluetooth keyboard and a case.  If you haven't checked out LearnPad, it's a great (and cheaper) alternative to iPads and other tablets in the classroom.


Picture
Finally, the always excellent Annie Murphy Paul has a new post on Mind/Shift which asks "How Can We Make Homework Worthwhile?"  I know, it's not really edtech related, but it is an excellent post and something worth considering regardless of subject and grade level.  I'd definitely recommend taking the next 15 minutes to check it out.


The Lightning Round...

  • Getting Smart discusses 4 New Ways to Use a Google Docs Form with Students
  • Getting Smart also shares4 Video Apps to Create a Parent/Classroom Connection
  • Teach Thought covers the 4 Stages of Integration of Technology in Learning
  • Edudemic gives us 12 Effective Ways to Use Google Drive in Education
  • Edudemic also discusses 4 Ways to Make Digital Portfolios with Students

And that's a Roundup!  Thanks for reading!  We'll be back tomorrow night with the podcast and the regular Roundup will return on Thursday.  We'll end today with a bit of a downer, but incredibly important information nonetheless, on the current state of teachers in higher education.  From Online-PhD-Programs comes a new infographic on the plight of adjunct professors.
